Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the Nigerian TV host, has reacted to the claims that Groovy, the BBNaija 2022 housemate, has a mouth odour.
During the first unveiling of housemates on Saturday, a video went viral, sparking assumptions that Groovy has bad breath.
In the video, Ebuka could be seen making a facial expression and touching his nose while Groovy was speaking to him.
A number of social media users concluded that Ebuka’s gesture suggested he was warding off bad breath.
But in a Twitter post on Sunday, Ebuka said he was just scratching his nose.
And na nose I bin just dey scratch o! Make una allow Groovy rest abeg

He also begged social media users to allow the housemate “rest”.
“And na nose I bin dey scratch o! Make una allow Groovy rest abeg,” he wrote.
Brush your teeth twice a day. Visit a dentist. No one deserves what Groovy did to Ebuka this night #BBNaija pic.twitter.com/0FPPcPRjX2
